It seems like only yesterday I came to live with Mama and Daddy. I was just a wee lad then, only nine months old!

Here I am on my second birthday when Mama through me and Bilbo a joint Birthday Pawty!

For my third birthday, Mama and I went on a cool walkie in the woods!

...and last year, for my fourth birthday, I went to the B.A.R. AND on a trip to Texas with Mama!!

This year I was proud to be elected Blogville's Mayor which was the best birthday present a guy could ask for!! PLUS, I received a very nice smelling package from my best gal Mabel that Mama is going to let me open later today!! Mama and Daddy also took me for a pawsome walk on the beach by my ocean!!

Today is also another famous Blogville Mayor's birthday, I want to wish Mayor Emeritus Frankie Furter a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Last but not least, thanks so much to Madi and Tuiren, Fenris, Yin, Yang, Chimera and Angel Socks for these very special birthday cards they sent!!

Happy Travel Tuesday!! Arty here this week to tell you all about our drive up the Washington coast (Ocean City State Park and Forks). As some of you may know, this part of Washington State contains a rain forest making it one of the rainiest parts of the USA. So this part of our trip was pretty rainy and Mama couldn't take her big camera on too many walkies.

Things got pretty boring for awhile when the rain was real heavy. Seems Mama and Daddy don't like the idea of muddy paw prints in the wheelie house so we didn't get out for any fun walkies. We passed the time checking our email. I also checked in with Mabel to make sure Blogville was running smoothly while I was out of the office. I am such a lucky Mayor to have my best gal Mabel as my VM! She did such a great job making sure everything got done!

But still, it didn't take long before we were REALLY bored! After about 87 hours, the rain let up enough and I thought a walkie was in order even if it was still drizzling. Daddy and Mama agreed, so we headed out for a short walk through the woods until we found my ocean!

I just loved the feel of the wind in my furs. Jakey seemed a little hesitant to head out in the rain at first, BUT

But after a few good sniffs of ocean air, he was hooked!!

We both agreed, rainy day walkies CAN be fun...although Mama and Daddy insisted on cleaning our pawsies and "undercarriages" every time we came back in...that wasn't so fun.

We spent a lot of time driving in the wheelie house for our ride up the Washington Coast. Usually you could find us like we are above. Well, until that time Jakey poked me and we had that little "discussion".

Jakey here today to wish everyone a very Happy Flower Friday!! This week Mama and I wanted to show you the different Rhododendron blooms in the area! Mama has a special mad crazy obsession love for these pretty blooms!

Mama admired this small rhody that she found in the nearby Arcata Town Square.

This beautiful Spring pink bloom is one of our backyard blooms!

Our backyard bushes don't look too healthy this year, do they Mama?? You might want to pay a bit more attention to them this year, just sayin'...

Although the bushes aren't doing well, we did get some pretty bloom clusters...Here is one of our dark pink blooms.

...and a curly rhody bloom glistening after a rain shower.

Our white rhody bush has a few different bloom clusters that look much better thank they did last year!

The sun has even come out so we can get out and enjoy all the pretty blooms!

These are Mama' s favorite yard rhodies, she loves the splash of orange in the center.

Let's wrap things up with a closer look....

We hope you enjoyed our rhododendrons!! Make sure to join us next week when Arty and Mama show you the beautiful Lupines in the area!!

We also hear Mini Dory is with Mama in that Lost Wages
place this weekend enjoying all the pretty casino flowers! They will feature them in a Flower Friday coming soon!
